Bomb leaves 15 dead in Pakistan attack

Pakistan’s army says “terrorists” targeted a military truck with a bomb killing eight soldiers and seven civilians in the southwestern city of Quetta.

The bomb also wounded 25 people, including 15 civilians. Incendiary explosives used in the blast sparked fires in nearby vehicles. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Baluchistan borders Iran and Afghanistan and has been the scene of a low level insurgency by Baloch separatists groups who want a greater share of the province’s mineral and gas resources.
